5 Concluding Remarks
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> The approach to computational morphologLv advocated here allows one to enjoy all the benefits of powerful and economical inheritance mechanisms provided by lexical representation languages like those mentioned in 1 above, but still provide phonologically (semi-)realized forms as output. Using syllables as the basic unit of description for the realization language enables succinct and linguistically attractive definitions of a wide variety of morphological alternations from simple affixation to partial reduplication and morphological metathesis.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> An interpreter for the language has been implemented in Prolog, and used to test a wide variety Of morphological functions frorn a range of languages as diverse as English, Arabic and Nakanai. Cahill (1989) presents the language in full, with a formal syntax and semantics of the language, a description of the interpreter and analyses of substantial fragments of English and Arabic.</Paragraph>
